Given all the strife, atrocity and suffering that I can’t begin to imagine in Libya, my heart races to demand some kind of American assistance for their efforts to throw out the dictatorship and establish a budding Democracy.  But I wouldn’t suggest it.  We can’t help them, I don’t believe, not if we want them [...]

Yeah, right now.  I mean, as of the time this was published, it’s happening.  And my first thought is, really, a gunman, with explosives, who has taken hostages, at the Discovery Channel?  The channel that features sharks, myths, How is this even possible?

The Washington Post and I have the same idea on the future of Gulf Coast states tourism:  First, it’s not going to come so much from folks eager to get into the water.  Second, if they work hard enough at it, I’ll bet they can get some folks to come out specifically for a chance to be [...]
